Abstract

International trade has experienced great growth in both developed and developing countries alike. Many conventions have been created for the purpose of regulating such international trade, most prominently under the organization known as The World Trade Organization (WTO). The WTO has set out some standards to create balance between its members such as countervailing duties for export-import activities and for the Indonesian government. This article attempts to view the ongoing case of countervailing duties on flour import from Turkey to Indonesia during 2008-2012 based on article IV section (2) GATT to analyze the legal basis of Indonesia’s act to remedy the dumping act done by Turkey and Article 12 (1) and Article 19 Acts Number 10 Year 1995 on Customs and Article 23A dan 23B Act Number 17 Year 2006 on Acts Number 17 Year 2006 on Amendment of Acts Number 10 Year 1995 on Customs as the national legal basis to determine the admission charge of antidumping act done by the Indonesian government. As a conclusion, the article sums up the development of antidumping regulation in WTO, the national law and role of Indonesian AntiDumping Committee in order to consider future import products that may be indicated as dumping products that affect the national market in Indonesia.
